Section 7103-154.0 - Other Treatment Methods

The Department may issue permits for the treatment of sludge by other processes if it can be demonstrated by the applicant that the following conditions will be met:

154.1 The treatment process does not contaminate the sludge to an extent that subsequent utilization of the treated sludge presents a public health hazard or danger to the environment.

154.2 Health hazards, environmental degradation, or nuisances do not result from the operation of the treatment process.

154.3 If the facility is constructed after the date when these regulations are adopted by the Department, a 1,000 foot buffer zone shall be maintained between the sludge processing or storage area and nearest inhabited off-site dwelling. This buffer distance may be reduced if the Department considers that the facility had adequate specific conditions to control odors and nuisances.
